Veteran Bob Baedeker, a longtime TV personality and accomplished Southern California-based handicapper, will be added to the on-air group, along with the popular John DeSantis, who is XpressBet's Senior Vice-President, Editor, and Gabby Gaudet, who recently joined the Maryland Jockey Club's simulcast show.
